DREAM GUY: The Gravetide of Ilaria [part of challenge 2]

[Guest]

The eveningtide had passed. All guests found themselves escorted to their rooms by helpful servants, and if necessary undressed.

The room contained a large bed with canopy, with featherfilled cushions and matress. There was a wardrobe, as well as a desk with a chair, and each room featured a hearth and of course, the balcony, with doors that opened wide to the lovely garden filled with countryside flowers.

While they had celebrated a formal evening with the Count, the household had not been idle. All the clothes the ladies brought had been unpacked and carefully folded, or hung out as appropriate, in the wardrobe. Personal items graced the desk, which now also had a small mirror should anybody feel the need to check their appearance.

[Ilaria da'Margeir.]

The first thing that Ilaria did upon entering her room was take off her shoes. They seemed absolutely bent on torturing her poor feet for as long as they could. Relieved, Ilaria indicated to the servants that they could leave, Ilaria undressed herself and drew herself a bath. Ilaria preferred to do things on her own. It made her semi-uncomfortable to have servants at her beck and call. Giving a blissful sigh, Ilaria sank into the bubbles and let herself soak until the water turned cold. After dressing herself, she immediately jumped onto her bed. Content to let herself sink into the mattress, she let herself rest for a few moments before deciding that she wanted to get up and move about. Ambling down the long hallway, Ilaria happened upon Falina. "And so we meet again! Care to go and cause some mischief?"
